Mercy and Reconciliation
In Jesus we open ourselves to the mystery of a Father who never gives up on us.
As we ourselves experience God’s mercy we start becoming people of compassion.
Jesus takes away the sins of the world: come and experience the healing, freeing
and reconciling love of Jesus.

Mercy & Healing
As witnessed in the extraordinary mercy that Jesus showed to his enemies.
Living life is appreciating what you have while you have it.
The dream of Jesus was that Christian communities would be known for the love of
each other. Mercy: a driving factor in bringing this about.
Jesus put forgiveness first.This paved the way for healing.
Wednesday 14th Mercy and Renewal in the Holy Spirit
True renewal requires an opening of the mind and spirit to the Gospel
with child-like simplicity.
